200 N.W. 991 (Mich. 1924)

Opinion

Docket No. 177.

Submitted October 16, 1924.

Decided December 10, 1924

Exceptions before judgment from Ottawa; Cross (Orien S.), J. Submitted October 16, 1924. (Docket No. 177.) Decided December 10, 1924.

Edward Fons was convicted of violating the liquor law. Affirmed.

Charles E. Misner, for appellant.

Fred T. Miles, Prosecuting Attorney, for the people.


This case has been here before, and a reference to the opinion in People v. Fons, 223 Mich. 603, will make a long statement of facts unnecessary. Upon a second trial the defendant was convicted of keeping a place where intoxicating liquors were sold. He has brought the case into this court by exceptions before sentence, insisting the trial judge should have directed a verdict in his favor, citing People v. Woodhouse, 223 Mich. 608. A reference to the last named case will show it is easily distinguishable from the instant case.

The law which should govern the case upon a second trial was clearly stated in this court when the case was reversed. The trial judge followed the course directed.

The verdict is affirmed and the case is remanded for further proceedings.

CLARK, C.J., and McDONALD, BIRD, SHARPE, STEERE, FELLOWS, and WIEST, JJ., concurred.
